Leer los hospitales en tiempos de pandemia: el profesional sanitario, protagonista de excepción

Abstract

During the last months, Spain has experienced emergency circumstances provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been a time of deep concern whose unprecedented number of affected and deceased people have proved to be overwhelming. The confinement has forced us to reflect on the role of the main social agent; all the workers of the Spanish healthcare system who have fought face to face against the virus. While the general populations has stayed at home as a measure of containment, hospitals and health clinics have been the open front where many men and women wearing white, green, and blue uniforms have put other's lives above their own. These pages attempt to pay tribute to the healthcare professionals that have shown the biggest generosity and compromise toward citizens, beyond just the strict observations of their duties.
